Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 27th December 2010 our lives changed. Steven became very sick and was rushed by ambulance to Yorkhill Sick Childrens Hospital. At the age of 3 he was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Stevo has at least 4 insulin injections each day and will do for the rest of his life. This is one of the things we have to do to help maintain a safe blood sugar level as low and high sugar levels can have serious and in some cases fatal consequences. Until stevo becomes an adult he will attend Yorkhill every 3-4 months to be monitored. The Diabetes Team are fantastic and are always just a phonecall away. As a thank you, we want to start raising money for the Yorkhill Children's Foundation. Please help us do that!!!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

UPDATE

I managed to run the 5K in 43 minutes (2 mins quicker than my time from a few years ago. Cheryl managed to do it in 40 mins also beating her previous time. Thank you to everyone who has donated and made our running worthwhile!!! It is appreciated by us and we know it will be appreciated by Steven's Diabetes Dept!
